Advancing RNA Live panelists Tyler Goodwin and April Sena start off our latest discussion on technology innovations in mRNA production by surveying the current manufacturing process for plasmid production, highlighting where they’ve seen advancements and what biotechs need to consider to obtain plasmids of the appropriate quality for mRNA production.
Achieving cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high quality standards today is one of the biggest challenges facing companies outsourcing mRNA/RNA development. In turn, panelists Qian Ruan, Andy Geall, and Alex Aust reflect on how and where they’ve seen the costs of mRNA-LNP manufacturing evolving/fluctuating in recent years.
In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CMC consultant Sujit Jain unpacks the levels of maturity he’s observed in process and analytical development, as well as supply chain. While vaccines and liver-targeting therapeutics boast what we can call a reproducible platform today, targeted LNP therapies introduce a handful of scale-up sensitivities and characterization hurdles.
In this final segment of an Advancing RNA Live discussion, panelists April Sena, Tyler Goodwin, and Adi Nair share the most meaningful and manageable improvements the industry can be making today to upstream and downstream processes to drive down mRNA-LNP COGS.In this final segment of an Advancing RNA Live discussion, panelists April Sena, Tyler Goodwin, and Adi Nair share the most meaningful and manageable improvements the industry can be making today to upstream and downstream processes to drive down mRNA-LNP COGS.
